Question

the straight line depreciation for a motorcycle is y=-2,150x +17,200. what is the original price of the motorcycle​

Answer 1

17,200

Explanation:

Given:

The straight line depreciation is given as:
`y=-2150x+17200`.

Here, the
`y` values correspond to the price of the motorcycle.

The slope of the above line is -2150 and the y-intercept is 17200.

A negative slope means that the
`y` value goes on decreasing with increasing
`x`.

The y-intercept occurs at
`x=0`.

Initial price of the motorcycle is at when
`x` is 0.

At
`x = 0, y= 17200`.

So, the initial price is 17200.
